Employing the services of a qualified Reading tradesman is generally wise if you have electrical work, gas fitting or plumbing that needs doing.
2. Check around. If there are any online reviews available for Reading odd job men, study them and interview at least 3 tradespeople. Quiz them regarding their practical experience and whether they have got particular fields of expertise. Ask for references they have got from property owners they've previously worked for. Verify that each potential odd job man has got the experience and skills to accomplish your job correctly.
3. See photographs of their work. Virtually everybody takes photos of their work nowadays, so ask to see a portfolio.

Starting and completion timelines for the work should be clearly set out in the agreement. Be certain that everything you've discussed and agreed with your odd job man is set down in writing.

Make sure that all the work set out in the contract/agreement has been carried out and that you are happy with it. Generally speaking, your run-of-the-mill odd job man will happily go over everything with you to make certain you are pleased with the results.
